- Helen Haines, who helped establish the National Anti-Corruption Commission, criticized its secrecy regarding the robodebt investigation.
- Up to 440,000 Centrelink recipients were wrongly targeted over alleged payment errors.
- The commission took 11 months to begin investigating six individuals, drawing public and internal criticism.
- A report found Commissioner Brereton showed bias concerns but no intentional wrongdoing was identified.
We’re two years in and I think that the question of robodebt and the transparency around where the commission is at will, I think, determine just how much confidence the public ultimately has in the National Anti-Corruption Commission and in the stewardship of Commissioner Brereton.— Helen Haines made the comments in an interview for Guardian Australia’s Australian Politics podcast.
